You Got To Be STARTing Something

Obama meets with Senate Republicans.

When the tax cut deal first came down, I thought it might be worth it, especially if it allowed DADT, DREAM and START to pass, too.

The DREAM act didn't pass, which is beyond a shame.  But in addition to getting a second mini-stimulus, the Democrats managed to get a piece of bigotry erased off the books and now appear to be ready to ratify a treaty that will help keep nuclear weapons out of the wrong people's hands.

No, the treaty does not prevent Sarah Palin from becoming President.

Nice job by the President and the Majority Leader to get some shit done.  As I say, enjoy it while it lasts.  We won't be seeing any good legislation for a few years at least.
